Control Panel / Control Panel Assembly

A control panel assembly is a complete plug-and-play component that provides the user interface and electronic controller for a product or machine. The main difference between a control panel and a membrane switch is that a control panel has a printed circuit board (PCB) for its electronics, while a membrane switch uses printed circuitry. Because of this, a control panel assembly can be used for more complicated controls and display functions. Design Mark is a leading control panel manufacturer with a core competence in the custom design, engineering, fabrication and assembly of control panels to meet unique human-machine interface requirements for our customers.

Design Mark’s Design and Manufacturing Process for Control Panels

Design Mark works with customers at various stages of their product development process, from prototype to production. Design Mark can offer design and engineering support for early-stage product development or can simply provide a quote for the desired quantities of fully-engineered and ready-to-use control panels.

The design process begins with the printed circuit board (PCB) design. The PCB provides the physical base and functional foundation for the control panel. The engineering drawing for the control panel should include:

Dimensions

Colors

Schematic

Pin-out matrix

Switch types

Tail start and end connections

Design Mark utilizes state of the art equipment, lean manufacturing techniques and principles, and ISO certified procedures to provide our customers with an exceptionally streamlined and efficient development and manufacturing process. Benefits of working with Design Mark include reduced lead times, higher quality control, and highly competitive costs.
